Don't Hire the Wrong Attorney

If you're reading this review as you face an uncertain or frightening legal situation, know that I understand. So does Philip Kim. I first contacted Mr. Kim in September of 2018. At that time, I had just resolved one case in another part of the state and was navigating a similar set of circumstanc...es in Gwinnett County. From our very first conversation, Mr. Kim was always calm, deliberate, and reassuring. Even as we dealt with delays from the pandemic and turnover in the District Attorney's office, Mr. Kim never failed to advocate tirelessly on my behalf. Although the entire process took nearly four years, the outcome was worth the wait. Half of the charges I was facing were dropped, restitution was agreed to, and the two years of incarceration I was facing were reduced to probation. It was an incredibly fortunate outcome, and it would not have happened without Philip Kim's dedication, legal expertise, and knowledge of the Gwinnett County judicial system. Beyond that, however, is something even more significant, at least to me. From the first time we spoke until the day we walked out of court, I was upfront with Mr. Kim about the mistakes I had made. The charges I was facing were not things I was proud of. Despite that, Philip Kim never treated me like a criminal. Instead, he showed me kindness and compassion. I will always be grateful to him for that. Here's the bottom line: if you're looking for an attorney that will truly work for you, someone who will help you navigate a confusing and dangerous judicial system and come out on the other side, you need to retain Philip Kim right now. I'm thankful I did. You will be too.

Highly Regarded & Recommended!

Attorney Kim was beyond personable, professional, transparent, and thorough. I contacted him for my fiancé who had a warrant for criminal trespassing. We were living out of the state of Georgia and trying to move to GA so my fiancé could be with his son following the death his mother. Not only was th...e situation extremely delicate, trying to handle this from the west coast was mentally daunting before contacting Attorney Kim. He made everything so manageable. When I contacted him for the initial consultation, he was extremely patient, detailed, and knowledgeable. Even with new officials in office and it being unchartered territory so to speak, Attorney Kim was able to get my fiancés warrant recalled; completely avoiding my fiancé having to turn himself in and trial. Attorney Kim was always available and keep us updated every step of the way. He will forever be highly regarded and recommended.

Reliable, Dedicated, & Honest

The first time I spoke with Philip Kim about needing assistance with an issue we were having with Probation, he did something that no other attorney has ever done before. Some lawyers charge a fee just to consult with them. Some lawyers give just a few minutes of their time to speak with you. Philip ...gave us more than 60 mins of his time at no cost. I had many concerns and questions and he addressed all of them. I was expecting to hear..."I can handle that for you no problem. For that kind of case I charge $$." I never heard those words from him. I never expected an attorney to give that much time for free. He helped guide me in the steps to take on how to proceed with our situation and it turned out great for us. Months later we contacted Philip Kim in regards to getting released from Probation early. We retained him without hesitation. He's always been available to answer questions or concerns that I have. The outcome was exactly what we wanted and he provided us with excellent service. Initially, 1 year still remained on the length of term for Probation but he successfully had it closed early. No more Probation. Philip Kim made me feel that he genuinely cares and I trust that he will always have our best interests in mind. He gives time and attention to all of the details and is very thorough in his work. If you're looking for an attorney, call Philip Kim!

Great lawyer

Phillip Kim really got me out of a bind when I got a DUI, I blew double over and I got the minimum punishment for everything when I should have gotten a max, he even got my fines reduced from $600 to $300, and non reporting probation, I was very worried and stressed that I was going to end up payin...g an arm and a leg for a mistake I made one night and my total cost for fines, classes and everything was no more than $2600, I highly recommend him and I'm glad I decided to go with him.

"I've known Phil since my first day of law school. He never...ever...ever...quits. He's passionate about the law. The only thing he loves more than the law is seeing his clients with a smile. I have no doubt that he'll "burn the midnight oil" when needed to ensure his clients get the representation that they deserve."

"Philip Kim is an excellent advocate. I first met Phil five years ago when he was an intern at the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers' College. Very few lawyers have the dedication to attend the Trial Lawyers' College, and even fewer attend during law school. Since then Phil has helped me prepare for and conduct numerous jury trials, and he has always contributed in a significant way. If you need a criminal lawyer, I highly recommend Phil Kim."
